章 26: Book 1 : Chapter 26 A Change Of Heart

October 18th

I woke up securely in Leo's arms with my head rested on his chest.

"I'm dropping you at my parents' house today whilst I meet a visiting Alpha from an allied back," he said, kissing the top of my head, "I'll be back in the late afternoon and then we'll have a bit of time before the Alpha comes over for dinner."

I grimaced, "why is he coming for dinner?"

"Because he has a powerful pack bordering mine in the North and because he's a massive douchebag, we have to put extra effort into remaining civil to avoid a war," he replied, "a war that would damage both of our packs."

"Sounds like so much fun," I groaned, "do I have to be there?"

"Yes," he said bluntly, "you can't wriggle out of this one."

When Leo dropped me off at the Loren household, his little sister Lia opened the door.

"Good morning," she said with a yawn.

She was still in her little silk pyjamas with her fine golden hair unbrushed and swept over her face.
